Definitions
- the present invention relates in general terms to devices for osteosynthesis of the spine.
- An implant for osteosynthesis of the spine is already known, in particular from document FR-A-2 659 546, which implant comprises a pedicular screw provided with a head that is generally tuningfork-shaped, capable of directly receiving a cylindrical rod for linking vertebrae together.
- a split ring and a threaded clamping plug acting between the two branches of the head enable the assembly to be locked with angular adjustment being possible between the rod and the axis of the pedicular screw.
- An object of the present invention is thus to mitigate those drawbacks and to propose means that are simple, and therefore do not significantly complicate installation operations, making it possible to connect a bone implant of conventional type rigidly to an intervertebral link rod while the rod is significantly off-axis relative to the bone implant.
- Another object of the invention is to be able to use the same type of pedicular screw in all of the vertebrae regardless of the sizes of such offsets.
- Yet another object is also to propose off-axis fixing for a link rod on a particular type of sacral fixing.
- the present invention provides an osteosynthesis device for the spine, the device comprising a bone anchor element, an intervertebral link rod suitable for connecting said bone anchor element to other anchor elements, an intermediate element, a ball-and-socket link between a first portion of the intermediate element and the bone anchor element, a clamping link between a second portion of the intermediate element and the intervertebral link rod, and locking means for locking the ball-and-socket link and the clamping link, which device is characterized in that said clamping link is constituted by a clamp having two branches extending laterally from the ball-and-socket link and open away therefrom, and in that the means for locking the clamping link include a clamping member acting on said branches in the region of their free ends in such a manner as to urge said ends towards each other.
- the ball-and-socket link comprises a generally spherical seat provided in a head of the bone anchor element and an essentially complementary compressible ring received in said seat, and said first portion of the intermediate element comprises a cylindrical appendix received in said ring;
- said cylindrical appendix is of circular section
- said cylindrical appendix is of a length such that prior to locking, it is capable of sliding relative to the ring to vary the axial offset between the bone anchor element and the intervertebral link rod;
- said cylindrical appendix in the region of its free end, presents an enlargement for preventing said appendix from escaping freely from the ring prior to locking;
- the ring is a split ring, and the enlargement has a diameter such that the appendix can be engaged by force through the ring with temporary elastic deformation thereof;
- said first portion of the intermediate element has a housing for a head of a bone anchor element, and the ball-and-socket link has a generally spherical seat defined in said housing and an essential complementary spherical wall formed on said head;
- the means for locking the ball-and-socket link comprise a threaded plug screwed into an opening of said housing remote from its seat;
- said branches of the clamp define an empty passage between them suitable for receiving the intervertebral link rod, and said clamping member is constituted by a screw.

- an osteosynthesis device for the spine which device comprises a bone anchor element 10 , in this case in the form of a pedicular screw, having a head 12 and a threaded portion 11 for co-operating with the bone.
- a bone anchor element 10 in this case in the form of a pedicular screw, having a head 12 and a threaded portion 11 for co-operating with the bone.
- the head 12 has two branches 123 generally in the form of a tuning fork, having an inside thread and defining a cavity 121 with a spherical seat 122 formed at the bottom thereof.
- a threaded plug 20 having an outside thread 21 and a generally plane or concave bearing surface 22 is suitable for being screwed between the two branches by means of a tool inserted into a tightening socket 23 , as explained below.
- a cap 30 possessing a downwardly-extending peripheral skirt 33 and a top face 31 having an opening 32 formed therein for the above-mentioned tightening tool can be applied to the top of the head 12 , covering the branches 123 , in particular so as to prevent said branches from splaying apart during the above-mentioned tightening.
- the device in this first embodiment also has an element 40 having a first end, to the right in FIG. 1, defining a circularly cylindrical rod 41 .
- This rod 41 has a ring 50 placed thereon, with the ring having an outer surface that is generally spherical and a cylindrical through passage of diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the rod 41 .
- the ring is split at 51 to impart a certain degree of elastic deformability thereto, as explained below.
- the rod 41 In the vicinity of its free end, the rod 41 has a slightly-projecting rib 42 which serves to prevent the ring 51 from escaping freely from the rod 41 once it has been put into place thereon by being forced over said rib.
- the element 40 has a clamp-forming portion 43 possessing two branches 43 a and 43 b that are disposed one above the other. Near the roots of the two branches, each of them possesses a respective essentially semicylindrical recess 44 a , 44 b , with the two recesses together defining a cylindrical passage 45 oriented perpendicularly to the axis of the rod 41 .
- the branches 43 a and 43 b are separated by a gap 43 c and they have respective cylindrical passages extending in alignment perpendicularly to the passage 45 and to the rod 41 .
- the upper passage is smooth while the lower passage is tapped.
- a clamping screw 60 is provided to be inserted and tightened in said passages, this screw comprising in conventional manner a threaded rod 62 , a larger head 61 , and a socket 63 formed in the head 61 to receive a tightening tool.
- FIG. 2 shows the FIG. 1 device in a partially assembled state.
- the rod 41 fitted with the ring 50 has been placed in the space 121 inside the head 12 of the screw 10 , with the ring 50 having its bottom region pressing against the concave spherical bearing surface 122 formed at the bottom of said inside space.
- the plug 20 is premounted in the head 12 , the cap is put into place on top of the plug, and the plug 20 is tightened using a tool.
- the plug 20 then compresses and deforms the ring 50 so as to lock the rod 40 in the position desired both angularly and in translation along its axis.
- the passage 45 is designed to receive an intervertebral link rod (not shown) which is connected to other bone anchor elements that can be identical or otherwise.
- the above-described device makes it possible with means that are simple to manufacture and handle to fix an intervertebral link rod in off-axis and optionally vertically-offset manner as compared with a conventional type of implant as described in particular in FR-A-2 659 546, and it do so with a very wide range of adjustment possibilities obtained firstly by selecting the position of the ring 50 on the rod 41 prior to locking by means of the plug 20 and secondly by selecting the angular orientation of said rod 41 , likewise prior to locking by means of the plug 20 .
- FIG. 3 of the drawings shows the case where the axial offset between the pedicular screw 10 and the link rod has a certain value L 1 , while the angle [ ⁇ ] between the axis of the pedicular screw 10 and the plane perpendicular to the axis of the rod 41 is not zero.
- the position of the element 40 relative to the intervertebral link rod can be adjusted prior to locking by means of the screw 60 .
- FIGS. 6 to 11 a second embodiment of an osteosynthesis device of the invention for the spinal column is shown.
- elements or portions identical or similar to those of the preceding embodiment are, whenever possible, designated by the same reference symbols.
- This device comprises a screw 10 , more particularly for anchoring in the sacrum, said screw comprising a threaded rod 11 surmounted by a spherical head 13 in which a hollow socket 131 for tightening purposes is formed at its end remote from the threaded rod.
- the device comprises an element 140 having a portion 141 in the form of a hollow and generally spherical body 141 .
- the cavity 1410 defined in said body has a tapped cylindrical portion 1411 and beneath the tapping, a concave spherical seat 1412 having the same diameter as that of the spherical head 13 of the sacral fixing screw 10 .
- This cavity 1410 opens upwards via the tapping and downwards via an orifice situated in the bottom of the spherical seat and of a size that is perceptibly greater than the section of the threaded rod 11 of the screw 10 .
- a plug 20 possessing an outside thread 21 suitable for co-operating with the tapping 1411 can be engaged inside the cavity 1410 from above by being screwed in, and the top face of the plug has a through socket 23 enabling it to be tightened by means of a tool.
- the bottom face of the plug 20 defines a hollow spherical surface 24 having the same diameter as the spherical head 13 of the screw 10 .
- the element 140 Projecting laterally from the body 141 , the element 140 also has a clamp-forming extension 143 analogous to the clamp 43 of FIGS. 1 to 4 .
- branches 143 a and 143 b extend parallel to each other, and near their roots they define two respective essentially semicylindrical setbacks 144 a and 144 b defining a through passage 145 for an intervertebral link rod 70 , shown in part in FIG. 10 .
- the branches 143 a and 143 b are separated by a gap 143 c , with one of them having a smooth bore 1431 passing therethrough and the other having a tapped bore 1432 for receiving a clamping screw 60 identical to that of FIGS. 1 to 4 .
- the device is assembled as follows:
- this embodiment makes it possible with a single part 140 to provide an off-center link between a sacral fixing screw and an intervertebral link rod which is connected to vertebrae adjacent to the sacrum by other means which are conventional per se.
- the various components of the two above-described osteosynthesis devices are made out of a biocompatible material such as stainless steel or a titanium alloy.
